James Comey says he will move to New Zealand if Trump wins in 2020
The Manchester Guardian ^ | October 27, 2019 | Eleanor Ainge Roy in Dunedin

The former FBI director James Comey has joked – or not – that he will move to New Zealand if Donald Trump is re-elected in 2020.

Comey was interviewed on C-Span and asked what he would do if Trump was returned to office. “From my new home in New Zealand, I still will believe in America,” Comey said, to laughter from the audience.

The former FBI boss worked for the Obama administration and was fired by Trump in May 2017, fuelling concerns for the bureau’s investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. The comment was apparently made in jest but he joins a long line of prominent Americans to float the idea of emigrating to New Zealand as a way to escape Trump’s chaotic presidency.

Has he asked the government there if they'll allow him to move there?

They always say they will leave, but they never do. And why New Zealand instead of Mexico?

He was misquoted. He’s moving to the New Zealand wing of a Federal Penitentiary.

Promises, promises.....

So many of the left have made that empty promise. I wish they’d have followed through with it.

Don’t they have, like, an airport agricultural inspection program that checks to ensure disease-carrying people and pets and foods and stuff aren’t allowed into the country? Just on that basis alone, I don’t think Comey — assuming he’s not doing the perp walk by then — will be able to go Kiwi. ;-)

The derps have been preparing New Zealand as a bolt hole for some time now.

You should research the names and number of high level derps that have visited their recently. Including Osucka and fat Hillary and many others.

Hmmm, first time I’ve heard of “New Zealand” as a moniker for GITMO.

NZ is one of those rare places completely devoid of dangerous snakes...or will be, until 2020, anyway.

Actually I’m kind of hoping that he’ll move to club fed for 10 or so years
